- 1). Explain to your tenants the cost of illegal dumping in the Dumpster. If you are forced to have the garbage picked up more often, it will be costly and could be reflected through increased rent.
- 2). Create a plan for tenants to report illegal dumping. Decide whom the tenants should call when they witness illegal dumping. You may want them to call the rental office, the police department or the sanitation department.
- 3). Provide tenants with a number to send text messages. Text messaging allows tenants to report illegal dumping at any time of the day without much time investment.
- 4). Encourage tenants to take pictures of illegal dumping. Have tenants send pictures to you by email. Tenants could also print out pictures to mail or drop off at the office. If tenants wish to remain anonymous, this is a good option.
- 5). Provide an incentive for your tenants to report illegal dumping. Offer a discount on rent, free carpet cleaning or some other special incentive.
